The next time we connected, he came to pick me up at a Sears store in South Memphis where my sister and her husband were dropping me off. I didn't visit Memphis and he wasn't traveling with his job in those days. If I went to a movie and it was funny and Paul was there, all of us who knew Paul knew he was there because his magnificent laugh would completely fill the movie theater.Īfter I moved to California, I didn't see Paul for about 3 years. We'd run into each other from time to time as well. He would come over to my wife's and my apartment - I remember a crazy Fourth of July night there - or we would visit him at his apartment which was also in midtown and had a swimming pool. His friends were mostly Eldon's and my old Southwestern classmates, so we moved in the same circles and saw a good bit of each other.Īnd we connected at a level deeper than I did with most folks I knew. During that year prior to my moving to California, Paul and I became good friends. I didn't see a lot of Paul over the next few years, but when he moved to Memphis in the early-to-mid seventies, he re-established contact thru Eldon.

I remember asking if he was coming to Southwestern next year: 'No, I'm going to the University of Arkansas to study Electrical Engineering and play football.' I was disappointed - tho I figured Arkansas would have a great football team. I liked Paul instantly - he had a smile as big as he was and was very charming and smart.

Eldon: 'This is my brother, Paul.' Paul: 'I'm Eldon's baby brother.' And then that laugh. Eldon came walking up with this giant beside him. It was at Southwestern behind the Student Center building.
